rough idle & code problems
I already know I have a Code 23 & Code 32 with my car.
I took it out of storage today and it started fine, drove fine, but after a while it started idleing really rough, then when I would accelerate the car would start sputtering and spucking. (not sure if these are the right words to describe what im talking about)
The car has done this before, the day I first bought it. Then afterwards it stopped and only happened again a couple times last summer.
Once it starts spucking, I have to let off the gas and then gradually accelerate again.
Could this problem be associated with the Codes? I know what each code could stand for (23=MAT or TPS) (32=BARO or EGR or EGR/EVRV)....just not exactly how to fix each one.
Has anyone else had this problem with the spucking?

A stuck open or malfunctioning EGR will definitely cause bad drivability problems like that. So if that is what the code 32 is in refernece to that's what I would suspect. A worn out TPS could cause some of that too. That is usually related to a throttle position that is used very often, like where the throttle hovers around during cruising. It gets worn and can eventually send the ECM a bad signal. HTH
